CleanCare i have a thick walled water butt not the usual thin plastic thanks for the warning though.

Hi Suds hope your well i got the heater from www.ebay.co.uk about 18 months ago so prices may have increased a bit   only used it for the first time last night.

I have not insulated static tank so will check it out shortly
